A place to relax
Amazing hospitality, being able to travel with my dog and have him feel just as welcomed by the owners was a blessing! Very quiet location yet close to DT Franklin.

Great cottage! Will be returning!
Cottage was immaculate and stocked with everything that we needed for our short stay. Very comfy and cozy, and was perfect for what we needed. The cottage is situated in a beautiful area. Host was super accommodating to anything we requested and was very responsive to questions. Location is convenient to Nashville and is minutes away from downtown Franklin with shopping and delicious food. We loved it, and will definitely book again when we return to the area!

Awesome Hosts
Our stay was wonderful. Everything as listed was spot on. We were in the area to watch our granddaughter play softball and needed to bring our dog along due to anxiety issues. The hosts were wonderful and our dog adored both Alexa and Shawn. They gave us suggestions for things in the area and made sure we had everything we needed. They went above and beyond our previous VRBO experience. Can’t thank them enough.
Beautifully decorated, clean, cozy, and a perfect location. This cottage has everything you need and more. The host responded in a timely manner to all of our questions. Wonderful place and host. Would recommend.

Comfortable, Sleek, and Convenient
Shawn's cottage was a perfect place for us to stay while visiting family in Franklin. The small enclave where the cottage is located includes very high-end homes on multiple acres. Although this cottage is in the backyard of the main home, it has a separate driveway, entrances, and outdoor spaces that make it feel more private. The bed is a firm yet comfortable foam mattress. The big TV on a rolling stand was a great addition for us to watch TV in the sitting area and in bed. The homeowners offered coffee and sodas and even brought over homemade treats for our dog. A pro tip for anyone traveling is not to light candles in a rental unit. We accidentally left one burning, and the homeowners graciously came over to blow it out for us while our dog was in the cottage alone. The cottage is only a couple of miles away from the new community of Westhaven with a grocery store and restaurants. Of course it is only a few more miles to the cute Franklin downtown. We really enjoyed our stay! I would recommend this place to anyone!

Great Getaway!
Spacious, comfortable bed, quiet countryside, kind and very responsive homeowners made this an enjoyable stay for us. Located a distance behind a large home allows lots of privacy like we were in our own little chalet! The wooden stairs leading up to the front door were challenging. And while there are concrete steps leading from the parking level to the house, there is also a smooth path leading to the wooden steps making
transporting luggage to and from the parking area much easier. Everything inside was very fresh and clean. Although we were in the country it was a quick drive to reach restaurants, parks, historic sites, and the beautiful town of Franklin, TN.

Beautiful and peaceful stay!
This cottage is absolutely beautiful and immaculately clean and comfortable. It is a separate guest house at someone's private residence which is nice because it means the area is well lit. My family stayed at another nearby VRBO and it was so dark and isolated there I would have been uncomfortable. The hosts are very communicative, responsive and helpful. The location was perfect for the family event I was attending. The cottage is very, very spacious and nice private views from the windows. I had no issues at all. The only thing I would change is to remove the TV. But I'm probably the only one on the planet who feels that way. This is a very nice place to stay.
